"I am very disappointed in Reese Dismukes for his irresponsible behavior last night," Chizik said in a statement. "This kind of behavior will not be tolerated at Auburn and I have suspended Reese as a result of his actions."

Chizik didn't say how long the suspension would be, but it will at least be through the first week of the season.

Auburn will open the season a week from today against Clemson without its center who won freshman All-American honors last season. Clemson will be without star receiver Sammy Watkins, who was suspended over the summer following an arrest for possession of marijuana and prescription drugs.

Auburn police arrested Dismukes on East Magnolia Avenue in Auburn. He was released on a $300 bond.

Sophomore Tunde Fariyike, who played sparingly last season, is the backup center.
